History of Data Centers Early computer systems−1960's
– Room-sized machines in a controlled
environment
– Military systems – Security needs
– Separate rooms with controlled
environments
The Microcomputer−1980's – Computers installed everywhere
– Environmental and operating requirements
– Lost data became a major concern
Birth of the Modern Data Center−1990's – Complexity of IT systems require a more
controlled environment
– Client-server networking became a standard

Healthcare Industry Drivers
Electronic Medical Record (EMR)/Meaningful Use Full integration mandated by 2014
Conversion to ICD-10 by October 2013
13,000 – 68,000 codes
Requirements for storage
Responsibility remains

Healthcare Industry Drivers
Large digital files
• Picture archiving and communication system
(PACS) replaces traditional film based images
• Integrated imaging in operating rooms
• Wound pictures
• Genome sequencing
©Sparling, Inc.
Healthcare Industry Drivers Telehealth
• Online patient data needs to be integrated into EMR
• Video sessions of synchronous visits or consults
will require storage and EMR integration
©Sparling, Inc.
Healthcare Industry Drivers Increased mobility • Tablets, smart phones
• Medical apps
• Social media
Human machine interface • Increased need for
ubiquity
oSmart walls
oSurface
• Needs for efficient log on
processes
oSmart rooms

What is the cloud?
Cloud services can be characterized as services
available to users from a third party service provider
via the Internet
©Sparling, Inc.
IT Industry Trends: Cloud Computing
Advantages Anywhere Anytime Anyone
data access services by third party
provider via the Internet
• Reduced local storage
• Staff efficiency
• Scalability
Disadvantages Reduced direct control over your
data and information
Dependence on a third party
(long term dependency)

IT Industry Trends: Server Virtualization
Server virtualization • Reduce costs
• Reduce space requirements
• Improve business continuity
©Sparling, Inc.
IT Industry Trends: Virtualization
Network virtualization • Use a single physical network with
multiple logical network
• Improve network resource usage
• Improve network security
©Sparling, Inc.
IT Industry Trends: Convergence
Convergence of
voice, video and data
over IP layered
network
Voice over IP system
internally as well as
external trunks
(e.g. SIP trunks)
IP based surveillance systems
network demands
Not all data is the
same

Facilities Trends: Building Controls
Part of the data center space
IP based building control
systems
Data storage and data process

Quantify
What percentage of your
archive information is in
digital format?
• Are there plans to transition
archive data into digital
format?
What percentage of current
information is in digital
format?
What percentage of
information will be in digital
format 5 years from now

Valuation Big Data – MGI Report June 2011 “…we estimate that the potential value from data in the sector
(healthcare) could be more than $300 billion in value every
year.”
“…two-thirds of which would be in the form of reducing national
healthcare expenditures by about 8 percent.”

How to Share in the Returns Techniques for analyzing Big Data Volume of data being generated has exceeded our ability to
analyze it effectively.
• Require expansion of storage systems and dedicated
applications to mine the data.
o A/B testing
o Association rule
learning
o Classification
o Cluster analysis
o Natural language
processing
©Sparling, Inc.
Using the Information Leverage the information • The mined information will increase efficiency
o Fewer duplicated procedures
o Improve clinical outcome
• Reduce Healthcare Cost
o Pharmaceutical
companies
o Insurance providers
• Reduce Fraud

Strategy Cloud computing Provides access to reliable, highly scalable computing resources
via telecommunications links often at lower capital costs than
installing enterprise owned infrastructure
Purpose-built data center infrastructure • Enterprise wide server housing and data repository
• Full scale high level facility
Remote site infrastructure strategy • Reliability level proportional to data
retention time
©Sparling, Inc.
Design Considerations Requirements assessments
• Allowable maintenance time
• Tolerance for unscheduled shutdown
• Downtime impact classifications
• Growth projections
• Gap analysis
Designing for effectiveness & efficiency • Network topology--TOR (Top of
Rack), EOR (End of Row), etc.
• Optical switching
• Power & cooling concepts
• CFD Modeling
• Containment strategies
©Sparling, Inc.
Optimization Optimize existing and new designs for data center facilities
CFD Modeling to verify design assumptions for new builds or
improve performance of existing facilities
